There are already some fineBlack Friday smartwatch dealsdoing the rounds, but the best is arguably a record price cut on theApple Watch7 that makes it an excellent buy for anyone in search of a premium fitness tracker.
The deals are available in both the US and UK on different versions of the Series 7, which is largely the same smartwatch as the newer Series 8, barring a temperature sensor and crash detection. At Walmart, you can get theApple Watch Series 7 (GPS 41mm, Starlight) for just $279 at Walmart, which equals its lowest-ever price.
In the UK, meanwhile,Amazonhas just dropped the price of theApple Watch Series 7 (GPS, 41mm) from £369 to £299on the Product Red version, which again makes it the cheapest way to pick up up a model that we called “the best Apple Watch yet” only last year. You also get the smug sensation of knowing that some of that price goes towards charity.
Both of these deals are among the bestBlack Friday Apple Watch dealswe’ve seen so far, though it’s also worth noting that you can also buy theApple Watch SE (2020) for just $149 at Walmartin the US. Still, the Series 7 is a significantly more powerful watch, with a larger display, always-on display and ECG some of the benefits, alongside a greater range of colors.

Today’s best Apple Watch deal in the UK
Apple Watch 7 (Product Red):was £369 now£299 at AmazonThis is the lowest-ever price for a Series 7 version of the Apple Watch. The Product Red version means some of your money goes to charity, and this model has most of the same features as the newer Series 8, including exercise tracking, an ECG, Apple Pay, compatibility with Apple Fitness (via a separate subscriptions), plus all of the same excellent fitness-tracking powers that we’ve come to expect.
In ourApple Watch 7 reviewwe praised its always-on display, which is larger than its Series 6 predecessor, and its fitness features. We concluded that “the Watch 7 is a great fitness companion for those wanting to upgrade their fitness, both mentally and physically”.
This is because alongside the usual activity tracking, it offers mindfulness options that we found “genuinely refreshing”. It might not be the newest smartwatch in Apple’s range (that’s the Apple Watch 8, which arrived in September), but the Series 7 is almost identical to that new flagship, aside from crash-detection and a temperature sensor for reading your body’s heat.
In fact, our Apple Watch 8 review called it “the smallest update we’ve ever seen to the series”, which means you aren’t missing out on a huge amount by going for the Series 7. The Series 8’s typical price is $399 / £419 for the GPS version, although it’s available for$349 at Amazon in the USor£399 in the UK from John Lewis.
